Bachelor of Arts - Human Development - Counselling Services

The Human Development Major is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on human growth and development throughout the lifespan, and on the familial, social, cultural, and political networks in which individuals develop. A degree in human development provides students an understanding of the social, cultural, psychological and biological understanding of human beings from birth to death. Course offerings are interdisciplinary, drawing knowledge from psychology, sociology, biology, anthropology, ethnic, racial and gender studies. The Human Development Major is designed to prepare undergraduates to succeed in increasingly diverse cultural, ethnic, economic, and political environments. Respect for those differences in the context of human services settings is an integral part of the program.
